The Apostasy

[Christsfreeservant]

“Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 NASB1995)​

September 2, 1945, is the date of the end of World War 2. Then, on May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day. And the two nations joined forces in a partnership relationship ever since then, as political and military allies. Over the years the U.S. has increased economic and military aid to the political nation of Israel, as well as they have joined them in military cooperation, intelligence sharing, and political support (source Google).

Then, in 1954, due to the efforts of LBJ, churches were added to the 501c3 tax code, by choice, although unnecessary, because churches had always been tax exempt. And they largely incorporated under the state. And to incorporate is to merge, join with, and partner with, which God forbids. We are not to partner with the world and with the ungodly in an unholy union. So churches then became creatures of the state with the state as sovereign over the corporations. And then so many of them turned their gatherings into businesses to be marketed to the world, which God also forbids.

[Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17; Acts 5:27-32; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Philippians 3:18-19; Revelation 2-3; Revelation 13:5-8; Revelation 18:1-5]

And then, not only were we taught government worship in the gatherings of the church, but we were taught “Israel” worship, too. We were taught, with hand over heart, to pledge (vow) allegiance (loyalty, fidelity, worship) to the US government, and to sing patriotic songs of worship of the government and its military, and to praise the military as our heroes who protect us from our enemies. And we were taught that we were to give the same kind of loyalty and devotion to the political state of Israel or be told we are deserving of death for not worshiping (supporting) this political entity.

So, the church not only partnered with the government (the state) in an unholy union, but they did so also with the political state of Israel, treating that political entity as though it is next to God and is above all else and everyone else, and that we are to give that nation our undivided loyalties, devotion, and support, or somehow we are against God. But that physical nation called “Israel,” as a nation, does not worship Jesus Christ, but denies Christ as their Messiah, thus making them antichrist (1 John 2:22). As a nation, they are godless, although a minority of Jews worship Jesus Christ.

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13;1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]

As a result of all this, the church (in general), in the USA, has become idolatrous and adulterous via her partnerships both with the US government and with the political entity called “Israel,” which is of the flesh of man, and not of God (see verses noted above). For the Israel of God is all who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives, who have died with Christ to sin, and who are now walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands, and who have no other gods above God. And this idolatrous and adulterous church is now under the judgment of God, for forsaking her first love.

So, this is a call of God to forsake all idols, which include human beings and physical nations, and sinful addictions, and to make God our only God to be worshipped. We are to deny self, die to sin daily, and follow our Lord in walks of obedience to his commands, and no longer live for the desires of the flesh, but in order to please God with our lives, or face his wrath. And the church, as the body of Christ, is commanded of God to come out from underneath these ungodly unions with the government and with the political nation of Israel, if we want to be in a right relationship with our Lord.

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
